It's because we're special,
@SueJB !
As Helen points out, numerically, T1 is about 10% of the total T community and that's probably reflected in the forum membership too.
Still, got to look on the bright side! When the Triffids or aliens invade, or a pandemic breaks out, or David Icke's predictions of the Royal Family unzipping their human skins to release their inner lizards come true, it'll probably turn out T1s are immune from all that stuff because they're only going to go after people with working beta cells....
I think that many T1s have joined and contributed in good faith but have left after getting overwhelmed with the low carbing messaging. It's not so much the case now, but there's still instances of newly dx'd T1s posting about things totally unrelated to diet, only to be met with a slew of posts from people telling them they are going to die if they don't follow the dictates of Bernstein.
